Grove of Narberth, Narberth, Pembrokeshire, South West Wales - Explore & Book
"Entering the Grove of Narberth is like stepping into a timeless refuge, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. This achingly handsome Georgian manor house gazes out across 26 acres of picturesque meadows and woods, towards the rugged Preseli hills beyond. The pretty seaside town of Tenby is just a 20-minute drive away, gateway to the stunning Pembrokeshire coast.
Owners Neil and Zoe worked hard to transform this once-derelict property into Pembrokeshire's smartest country-house hotel. They preserved the building's elegant facade and grand original features, then added modern interiors with a warm colour palette and Welsh-inspired decor. Local heritage is embraced at every turn; the bar is a masterpiece of Welsh steel and Pembrokeshire purple slate, and the bedrooms glow with upcycled antique mining lamps. Accommodation options vary from stylish contemporary rooms in the main building to charming cottages scattered throughout the grounds. Candles and crackling fires light up the cosy lounges at night, and the food at the two restaurants is sublime. We sipped Champagne and looked out at panoramic countryside views, feeling totally enchanted by our surroundings.
